Abstract:
Objective To discuss the complications of the bilateral uterine artery superselective embolization for uterine fibroids. Methods Fourty one cases(mean 42 years old) with uterine fibroids were approached by right femoral artery puncture; including thirty six cases of single hysteromyoma(33 cases with diameter 10 cm), and 5 cases of multi hysteromyoma. Bilateral uterine artery super selective 5F catheterization embolization were done along uterine descending artery(neck of uterus to vagina)with PVA particles. Rdsults Embolization succeeded with 100% and effective ratio was 92.3%. Sixteen of these cases showed post embolization syndrome, with something outflowed from vagina and 10 cases showed changes of emmenia but with no serious complications in all 41 cases. Conclusion Using bilateral uterine artery superselective embolization for uterine fibroids with PVP grains can decrease the incidence of complications. (J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 280-282)
